LETTER FROM THE EDITOR 2000 WAS WITHOUT doubt the year of the Nantucket Historical Association Research Library. In the course of one year - from groundbreaking to moving in- the old Fair Street Museum was transformed. Visitors to the new facility will see reminders of the past in the design and will marvel at the simplicity and elegance of the workspaces - inspiring to researchers, one of whom was heard to remark "I am dazzled." However, it is the state-of-the-art archival storage unit that sets the tone for the future. It is clear that the NHA's manuscript and photograph

collections are safe and secure for many generations to come. ¡This issue of Historic Nantucket offers a history of the manuscript collection by curator of collections Aimee Newell as an extension of her research on the history of the association. She points out that the organization valued its collection of written documents and artifacts equally - right from the start. A few short pieces running alongside Aimee's feature article highlight the diversity of the library's collection. There are also reviews of two books whose authors used our collections as sources; it's always rewarding to have the library acknowledged

in books and scholarly publications.

As has been the case for several years, the spring issue of the magazine also serves as the NHA's annual report. We hope you find the department reports interesting and enjoy hearing the "voices" and seeing the faces of the people who manage the NHA's day-to-day affairs. As always, we welcome comments on the appearance and content of Historic Nantucket. We want to hear from you.

Even better, drop in for a visit.

The library staff would love to show you around.

"The very heart of this institution": The NHA Research Library by Aimee E. Newell

A

1932 ANNUAL MEETING OF THE Nantucket Historical Association, secretary Catherine Eger's report boasted, "We believe we now have one of the best whaling libraries in the world, if not the best. . . ."

Despite the hardships of the Great Depression, the NHA celebrated its recent acquisition of the Hadwen and Barney Candle Factory, which had been converted into its Whaling Museum and filled with the artifact and library collections of Edward F. Sanderson. This gift was just one example of the centrality that the NHA's library has held throughout the organization's existence. From its beginning in 1894, the NHA I charged itself with "collecting and preserving" not only artifacts and structures, but "such materials, books, Quaker Meeting House papers and matters of interest as may tend to illustrate as NHA Museum and perpetuate the history. .. of the island."

HISTORIC

NANTUCKET

The strength of the NHA's collection lies in its connections - between manuscripts and artifacts, photographs and buildings, between the material items and the people who use them. The history of the NHA's library cannot be separated from the history of the organization as a whole; the development of an intertwined bibliographic and decorative-arts collection was a priority from the beginning. The strengths of today's NHA Research Library are all evident from the records of the past: collecting oral history; serving the public by answering inquiries; providing personal connection through genealogy; representing what has gone before in the photographic collection; and publishing selections from the NHA's holdings to encourage residents and scholars to learn more about the island and its fascinating history. Those activities prompted curator Susan E. Brock to remark in 1900, "our library ... is rapidly growing to be the most important and satisfactory portion of our work," achieving an early tradition of excellence and quality that is still evident today.

As the NHA established itself in the community throughout the waning years of the nineteenth century, donations began to pour in, and manuscripts were always mentioned in the NHA Proceedings on an equal par with artifacts. The Reverend Myron S. Dudley, acting president, explained the value of the NHA's library collection in 1899: "Of unquestioned value in the collection of a historical society are the manuscript documents belonging to the time and territory which the society properly represents. This is the material, for the greater part, that once lost or destroyed, can never be replaced, for it is not in duplicate."

In June 1894, the NHA purchased the Friends Meeting House on Fair Street and set up its first headquarters. The first annual meeting in 1895 included readings from 1815 and 1824 documents in the fledgling organization's collection. Founding secretary Mary SPRING

2001

Eliza Starbuck presented a passionate plea for the preservation of Nantucket's material history: It is most desirable to secure all possible material relating to old Nantucket, and members are earnestly requested not only to give donations of money, but to make an active search for all sorts of relics, particularly manuscripts, before it is too late and these valuable mementoes are carried away from the island as trophies, or by progressive housewives "cast as rubbish to the void .... " Let us collect and preserve what we may of the first essentials.

Curator Brock and the other NHA founders had a clear vision of their collecting policy, stating in 1896 that they were interested in items "concerning everything that was ever known to happen or exist on the island." And, in 1900, "Our ambition has long been to possess a complete collection of everything which has ever been printed in Nantucket, about Nantucket, or written by a Nantucket person ... we may perhaps be pardoned for boasting of . . . the finest collection of Nantucket printed matter in existence." Brock's appreciation for history is evident in her annual reports to the membership. Her writing also indicates a thoughtful curator whose ideas were often ahead of their time. In 1899 she wrote, "In our anxiety to procure relics of the past, we do not forget that the present is bye and bye to become quite as interesting to future generations, and as we go along, we are carefully preserving such mementoes of contemporaneous history as come to us."

One hundred years later the NHA is still interested in the present, as much as the past, and has made several pleas for contemporary material over the past year.

The NHA was so successful with its collecting that space quickly became a problem as the Friends Meeting House was crammed with the association's HISTORIC

NANTUCKET

burgeoning collection. Just four years into the NHA's existence, in 1898, the need for a new, fireproof building to house the collection was acknowledged at the NHA annual meeting. In 1904 the NHA achieved financial security and broke ground for its "fire-proof building" on Fair Street. A fitting celebration of the NHA's tenth anniversary, the new building represented the importance that the NHA placed on preservation and accessibility. President Alexander Starbuck described the new building at the annual meeting, "I use the term 'securely kept' instead of 'stored' as it signifies to my mind a come-at-able repository always accessible instead of a vault formally opened only on special occasions and carefully guarded from the eyes of the profane."

News of the "finest collection of Nantucket printed matter in existence," held by the NHA, traveled fast.

Annual reports by the secretary and curator refer to volume set of Vital Records a/ Nantucket, Massachusetts, numerous requests for historical information, a service to th e year 1850, published b y the New E ngland still offered by NHA library staff, who answered over Historic Genealogical Society.

Throughout the early years, NHA officers called for 500 phone, mail, and e-mail requests in 2000. While present-day requests come in from all over the globe, in oral history in the form of island stories and slang terms, 1897 a letter from Alaska was an exciting occurrence, reminding the membership not only of their imporworthy of mention at the annual meeting.

figure in the Nantucket Historical Association. President of the association, author, researcher , and historian, Edouard performed an invaluable service for all Nantucketers by collecting, preserving, and documenting the island's past. In addition to the historical materials Edouard gave to the NHA during his lifetime, his complete collection of books, manuscripts, maps, photographs, notes, and correspondence was bequeathed to the research library upon his death. It is an impressive body of materials pertaining to the island's history and maritime history in general.

Edouard began his collecting activities as early as the 1930s, gathering materials that reflected his particular interest in the China trade, the Arctic and Antarctic, the P acific islands, sealing and whaling, and Nantucket Island. Edouard's son Renny recounts how his father would organize newsclippings and notes on a variety of subjects into commonplace books.

Edouard accumulated many Nantucket-related items by advertising in local papers for logbooks and documents, which were purchased and added to his personal collection. These items can be studied in the Nantucket Historical Association Research Library at 7 Fair Street.

The new library's reading room has been named for Edouard A. Stackpole, to honor his many contributions to the association and to scholarship in Nantucket and maritime history.

NHA membership: "Our collection is now so crowded in some departments that it is impossible to display many articles of interest. This is especially the case with the library ... ." This crowding was alleviated with the purchase of the Whaling Museum in 1930, which had its own library space. The NHA staff wasted no time.

As President William F. Macy reported at the 1930 annual meeting, "The removal of the whaling material from the Historical Rooms . . . relieved the congestion there and enabled the Curator to rearrange the collections so that everything showed to better advantage."

The Whaling Museum Library was expanded in 1942 , under the direction of NHA councillor Dr. William E. Gardner, who created an NHA Archives in the Whaling Museum loft. Inspired by a visit to the archives at the British Museum, Gardner asked, "Why not b egin here the assembling of special collections which could be carefully studied and arranged and, from time to time, especially advertised and exhibited."

Under his watchful eye, "truck-loads of books, papers, pictures and other items" were brought to the Whaling Museum, relieving the overcrowded state of the Fair Street Museum and the Friends Meeting House. As the NHA continued to grow, the Whaling Museum attracted great attention and interest among visitors and scholars alike. This interest resulted in donations of books, manuscripts, and artifacts to the collection over the years, including many significant gifts of logbooks, letters, business papers, books, and maps, as well as the collection of the present-day Reading Room namesake, Edouard A. Stackpole, whose voluminous accumulation of papers, manuscripts, and books came to the NHA after his death in 1993. (See sidebar.)

In fact, it was Stackpole who began the long process of bringing the NHA Research Library under one roof upon completion of the construction of the Peter Foulger Museum in the early 1970s. As he explained in 1970, "The Foulger Museum ... for the first time [provides] adequate facilities for the manuscript and rare book collections and for the research center that has never before been available."

In 1991, the NHA library was renamed "The Edouard A. Stackpole Research Center" and its location on the second floor of the Peter Foulger Museum was enlarged, providing extra room to accommodate researchers and housing the manuscript collections and NHA Archives in one environmentally controlled room. But by the late 1990s, the NHA's collection of HISTORIC

NANTUCKET

more than 4,800 books, 400 linear feet of manuscript material, and 45,000 images once again were constrained in a space too small for expansion and in what were considered substandard environmental conditions.

The rededication of the NHA Research Library this spring marks not only the 107th anniversary of the founding of the NHA, but continues the tradition of excellence in caring for the "remnants" of island history, that was espoused by the NHA's founders.

Aimee E. Newell is the NHA's curator of collections and a frequent contributor to Historic Nantucket.

interest in, and admiration for, the writings of Herman Melville. His collection, comprising seventy-four volumes, includes first editions of many of Melville's works, later reprints, and published criticism by Melville scholars.

Following Henry C. Coke's death, the collection was donated to the NHA by his widow in 1984. Highlights of the iij~nt1! <!I.Qioltt Henry C. Coke Melville Collection include the 1851 London and New York first editions of the The Whale (or Moby-Dick); first editions of Omoo: A Narrative of Adventures in the South Seas, and Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Li/e; and later, limited editions of Moby-Dick that include illustrations by Rockwell Kent, Mead Schaeffer, and Barry Moser.

This impressive collection of books, many of which are in their original bindings, was catalogued in 2000 and is available to researchers for study. In recognition of the 150th anniversary of the publication of Moby-Dick, this spring and summer the library will display in its new Whitney Gallery an exhibition showcasing various editions of Moby-Dick. Many of the books on display will be from the Coke Collection.

A Swell Job for a Magpie: Keeper of the Blue File -

T

HE AGONY OF lT NOTWITHSTANDING, A

peripheral benefit of moving the library to Fair Street was the opportunity it gave me to review and reassess the contents of the vertical files, especially the one we refer to as the Blue File. The opportunity arose because exigencies of space required converting some 1,150 file folders from legal to letter size. Volunteers had just completed the task of replacing the old file folders with acid-proof, archival-quality folders, so I didn't want to discard them and start all over again.

Cutting them down seemed the best solution, and once we had acquired a nice new sharp paper cutter, there was only the tedium of the exercise to endure (though had the collection been bigger a repetitivemotion syndrome might have developed).

But back to "Abajian to Zoophily." With few exceptions, every item in the Blue File has a Nantucket connection, some more remote than others. Jacob Abajian was the proprietor of the Oriental Bazaar at 21 Centre Street from 1884 until he died in 1937. An advertisement he ran in the I&M in 1893 states "From Constantinople and India I have the finest and most superb curiosities ever seen in this COUN1RY." Obviously, Mr. Abajian deserves to be in the Blue File. But zoophily? A zoophile is someone who has an inordinate affection for animals, and such was Caroline Earle White (1833-1916), founder of the Journal of Zoophily and editor-in-chief from 1892 to 1916. She was a founder of the Women's Pennsylvania Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and of the American AntiVivisection Society. Our friends up on Crooked

Lane would have loved her. She was also an abolitionist. Caroline and her husband, Richard Earle, an eminent Philadelphia lawyer, had a summer residence they called Waterside, on Hulbert Avenue.

But that's not why Caroline is in the Blue File; she's there because her mom was a Hussey, born on Nantucket in 1798, with Folgers, Starbucks, Paddacks, Mayhews, Bunkers, and Coffins in her family tree. The Nantucket connection in spades.

And then there's Burt Green Wilder. He was a graduate of Harvard Medical School who in his youth was fascinated by spiders; he became a renowned herpatologist and subsequently professor of physiology, vertebrate zoology, and neurology at Cornell. Dr. Wilder discovered a large and handsome spider (later named Nephila Wilderi) from which, when it was alive, he reeled 150 yards of yellow silk.

He wrote a monograph entitled "Anatomical Technology as Applied to the Domestic Cat," and another, "Is Nature Inconsistent?" He would know, wouldn't he! Burt Green Wilder is in the Blue File because his wife's father, a William Nichols, was hom on Nantucket and Dr. Wilder himself owned property in 'Sconset at the tum of the [twentieth] century.

These are only examples of the serendipitous rewards awaiting a leisurely perusal of the NHA Research Library's fascinating omnium gatherum.

And I pay tribute to all my predecessors; I'm sure I share with them the same pack-rat tendencies that keep the Blue File growing. Now if only I had more

1000 ANNU AL REPOR T

This medal was one of 900 made as souvenirs of Nantucket's "Sanitary Fair;' held in August 1864. Correspondence between Dr. E S. Edwards of New York (who supplied the medals) and Mrs.]. B. King, a Nantucketer and one of the fair's organizers, is part of the NHA Research library's manuscript collection 84.111e letters express the popularity of the medals at sanitary fairs in New York and Philadelphia. They were sold for 25 cents apiece with half of the proceeds paid to Dr. Edwards and half retained by the Nantucket Sanitary Fair committee.

Sanitary fairs were held throughout the northern states during the Civil War to raise money for the US. Sanitary Commission, which cared for sick and wounded soldiers and provided small "comforts of home" to the men in the field. Nantucket's fair opened on August 3, 1864, and was held over until August 8. Newspaper accounts tell us that the Atheneum was "tastefully decorated;' and entertainment included speeches, music, sale tables, tableaux, and refreshments.

Nantucket's fair netted $1 ,800 for the sanitary commission, yet another example of the island 's tmwavering support during the war.

The medal depicts George Washington, a symbol of democracy and a patriotic hero.

Despite his southern roots, Washington was hailed as the father of the country and served as a model of citizenship during this period of intense conflict

Message from the President

I

am very pleased to have been elected President of the Nantucket Historical Association, and I want to take this opportunity to say that I am 101 percent committed to helping an excellent and devoted board realize its ambitious goals.

We all share a common passion for everything this organization stands for and understand its importance to our island.

Many opportunities lie in front of us; this is a very busy time with many projects in the works. With prudent strategic planning and hard work we will indeed rise to the occasion without ever relaxing our high standards.

Our capital campaign is well under way, but we still have a lot to do. Peter Nash has put in an extraordinary effort, and we must all applaud his dedication; the results to date reflect his hard work and that of many others on the board.

The success of fund-raising efforts is obviously fundamental to maintaining our properties and collections, building the new museum center, instituting educational programs, and creating exhibits that will keep the organization a vital part of the community. Our outstanding new research library is a great example of just what can be done.

And, of course, accomplishing our agenda begins with having a superb and motivated staff (we are clearly blessed on this front).

All this requires resources - and one of

our most important goals, therefore, is to significantly build the endowment.

Without solid financial tmderpinnings tl1e organization cannot move forward. There is no choice - we have a responsibility to "make it happen" and do what is right to ensure a healthy future .

With such a full plate, there is one overall challenge that we face: setting priorities and then focusing on what cotmts most. It is humanly and financially impossible to do everything. Real estate people always say that success is all about tl1ree things location, location, location. The NHA is now at the stage where it's all about focus, focus, focus.

In order to prioritize an ever-growing "wish list;' we decided to hold several board retreats where we would make the time to really dig into the needs and opportunities before us. With outside professional guidance, we are now working hard to put together interpretive and strategic plans that will guide us in fulfilling the mission of the NHA. And we will do it in a way that not only is fiscally responsible but also results in an effort we can all be proud of.

What it all adds up to is that we are raising the bar to a new level by challenging ourselves to do what needs to be done.

We must tackle a lot of tough issues head on and capitalize on the real momenttm1 that exists in the organization. From solving staff housing problems to taking care of serious maintenance needs, it won't be easy The time is clearly right to move forward witl1 sure-footed speed and confidence, and we will do just that with your help.Thank you all for your input and continued interest; I could not begin to describe how much your support is appreciated.

In conclusion, I also want to express my gratitude to our exceptional executive director, Frank Milligan. His vision and leadership at this important time have been instrumental in fueling the board's enthusiasm about a dynamic and exciting future for the NHA.

Executive Director's Overview

I n his excellent 1924 history of Nantucket, Alexander Starbuck wrote,"The history of the Whale Fishery, as it relates to Nantucket, is the story of achievement of which very few communities can boast:' I might suggest that a reasonable argument can be made that Nantucket itself is a "story of achievement" set against the odds most today would consider simply too overwhelming to conquer. Closer to home, "achievement" defined as a "noteworthy or successful action or a distinguished feat" - was realized in a number of NHA program areas over the past year. In short, I think that we did our part to continue this tradition of Nantucket achievement.

Museum attendance and revenues exceeded all expectations as visitors flocked to the Peter Foulger Museum to enjoy an engaging and creative summer exhibition centering on the tragedy of the whaleship &sex. The exhibition was curated by our museums director and dl.ief curator Niles Parker, who would be the first to state that its installation - including the carrying of the 800-pou.nd sperm whale jawbone from the Whaling Museum to the Peter Foulger Musemn - was a total team effort. I cannot thank all of the staff enough for contributing to this success. In every regard, from educational value to design excellence, this exhibition typified the essence of"achievement."

For the majority of visitors our everpopular Whaling Museum, housed in a midnineteenth-century candle-making factory, remains our most popular NHA attraction by a long shot. Certainly its attendance figures bear that out. Complementing the Whaling

Museum lectures and tours were a number of successful new public programs such as the NHA Walking Tour, which almost always had overflowing attendance at its twice-daily offerings. The new Essex Gam was also well received by a public that seemingly could not get enough seafaring lore in a summer dominated by the nmaway success of Nat Philbrick's awardwinning book.

Our Annual Meeting was a bittersweet experience for me: sweet in that a large number of members gathered on the Hadwen House grmmds on a glorious summer afternoon to hear our guest speaker, the former Henry Ford Museum and Deerfield Village CEO Harold Skramstad, deliver a fascinating overview of the business of museums and historical associations in a new millennium. Sweet as well was the post-meeting socializing amid lengthening afternoon shadows and in the knowledge that Arie Kopelman had just been confirmed as our next president of the board of tmstees. Arie brings to the organization a passion for Nantucket, historic preservation, and museum education.We are delighted to have his energy and commitment to building a stronger, vital organization.

Bitter, however, was saying goodbye to our outgoing president Dorothy Slover, who has left the organization focused and mobilized for the challenges that lie ahead.

Dorothy is simply one of the most outstanding individuals I have ever met. She was totally committed to the NHA's welfare during her tenure as board president.

The successfullatmch of the capital campaign, the library renovations, the search for a new executive director, and last but not least the NHA display at the Wmter Antiques Show last January, were all completed on Dorothy's watch. I first met her at the Nantucket airport arriving as a candidate for the position I now hold.

By the time we were zipping around the rotary in her red jeep, I knew that tll.is organization had a grand prix driver behind its wheel. On behalf of all the staff I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to ' Dorothy for everything she did for the

NHA for so many years. On a more personal note, I thank her for her tireless efforts in helping my family move to and settle into Nantucket. Dorothy took the word "achievement" to a whole new level.

I am proud to say the organization's staff worked exceptionally well together during the past year.

Our special events flourished especially the Antiques Show, with the tireless efforts of chair Susan Rotando The Winter Antiques Show Frank Milligan, Arie Kopelman, and the htmdreds of volunteers.

Lucinda Ballard, and Dorothy Slover.

As usual, the event was meticulously managed by Jean Grimmer, our associate library and archives collections to their director/director of development, and supported by all of the NHA staff home on Fair Street. w ho worked so diligently to ensure that It was a great year full of achievement. this event - our largest fund-raiser of the Thanks to everyone on staff and to our year - was successful. Bravo! many volunteers and financial supporters.

It has been a wonderful first year, We simply could not do it without you. with much progress made in our capital campaign - though we all know there is so much further to go. But already the first fruits of our fund-raising efforts are -Frank D. Milligan visible with the opening of the NHA Research library (on time and tmder budget, I might add!). I want to especially thank library director Betsy Lowenstein for her hard work during the design and construction process and for overseeing the safe movement of the priceless

For those of us from the other side of the globe, Nantucket remains as ever the ultimate whaling mecca. Each visit the crowds get bigger, but so too does the local enthusiasm for honouring Nantucket's whaling heritage.

It's the vitality ofthe continuing interest in whaling which is so impressive. The NHA does a wondeiful job covering whaling not just for specialists but also bridging the whole field to serve the interests of newcomers too. We are sure that the NHA wiU continue to draw in expertise from "on island" and "off island" to keep Nantucket on the crest ofthe wave as far as whaling is concerned We remain enormousry grateful for the wondeiful welcome and co-operation shown to us. With our very very best wishes for the NHA to continue from strength to strength.

The year got off to an exciting start in January with two weeks at the Forty-sixth Annual Winter Antiques Show in NewYork.The NHA was the featured exhibition in the Park Avenue Armory and created an installation that highlighted our diverse collections, from scrimshaw and lightship baskets to furniture, manuscripts, silver, and paintings. ,. In the spring, chief curator Niles Parker opened a new exhibition at the Peter Foulger Museum:"The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex" related, through artifacts, maps, and manuscripts, one of the most riveting chapters in Nantucket's whaling history.

The exhibition coincided with the publication of NHA Research Fellow Nathaniel Philbrick's award-winning book, In the Heart of the Sea. ,. A display of navigational tools and instruments as well as a new selection of ships' papers was installed in the Navigation Room of the Whaling Musemn. Many of these artifacts had not been on view for a number of years, and in this setting help to inform the public about life aboard a whaleship and the business of eighteenthand nineteenth-century whaling. ,. With the assistance of Norman Hurst and Rhys Richards, both experts on South Pacific history and material culture, the department researched and catalogued the NHA's extensive collection of South Seas artifacts.

Brought back to Nantucket in the first half of the nineteenth century by whalers who voyaged across the Pacific, these remarkable objects tell the story of Nantucket Island's global reach during the heyday of the

jeremy Slavitz,jeanAllen, Niles Parker; and Aimee Newell.

American whale fishery and the numerous cultures with whom islanders came into contact.

After fully cataloguing this collection, during the summer the curators reinstalled a display in the Whaling Museum featuring updated information. ,. Two popular exhibitions came to an end this year as well. A loan exhibition of photographs from Stellwagen Bank was removed from the Whaling Museum, and an installation of lightship baskets on the second floor of the Hadwen House was also taken down after a successful three-year display. ,. The NHA was fortunate to receive a Conservation Assessment Program grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services in 2000.

The funds were used to retain two conservation professionals who visited the island for several days and thoroughly examined the MacyChristian House and its collection of artifacts.Those visits and their resulting reports identified aspects of conservation that the NHA was already doing well, in addition to areas of concern that can now be more adequately addressed. ,. Curator of collections Aimee Newell submitted her manuscript " 'No Harvest of Oil': Nantucket's Agricultural Fairs 1856-90" to the Dublin Seminar for New England

Folklife. Focusing on the role of agriculture during the island's postwhaling decline, the paper was not only accepted but proved to be one of the few slated for publication by the group.

The NHA's participation in the 2000 Wmter Antiques Show created a tmique opportunity for NHA supporters to gather in New York in January and celebrate the mounting of the loan exhibition "Away Off Shore: From the Collections of the Nantucket HistoricalAssociation:' The exhibition, designed by Stephen Saitas, was made possible with support from our underwriter, FleetBoston Financia.l.Attendees were also briefed on progress of the can1paign. Coco andArie Kopelman, Carolyn and Ian MacKenzie, and Richard and Clement Durkes hosted dinners following the opening-night reception on January 20,2000.

In her last term as board president,

Research Library building committee chair Patricia Bridier and her committee worked with J. K. Scanlan Company and clerk of the works Steve Paradis to latmcll the renovation of the former Fair Street Museum. Early in the year the area under the Friends Meeting House was excavated to provide an archival storage area for the Research Library and, at the same time, a solid foundation for the meeting house.

Spring After four years of engineering studies and recommendations, the repair and renovation of the east wall of Sanderson Hall in the Whaling Museum were successfully carried out. The building's outer brick wall had bowed and separated from its interior support wall, resulting in water leakage that rotted the roof trusses and caused The repair of the east wall of the brick and mortar to weaken.

Boston Building Consultants oversaw the efforts and properties manager Jeff Pollock supervised the masonry work by Cape and Islands Waterproofing of Orleans, Massachusetts. Thus, our second campaign objective was completed.

-

Summer With the Research library nearing completion and the Whaling Museum's east wall finished, the arcllitectural selection committee turned its attention to the process of choosing an architect for the new museum center. After requesting project proposals from six firms, tmstees met with four architectural tean1s in late August to discuss how they would approach designing the museum center. Of particular importance to the tmstees and staff was how the arcllitects thought they could involve the association and the island commtmity with the design process.

Cumulative giving surpassed $12 nlillion.

the Whaling Museum

Wtlkes Barre, Pennsylvania. A design committee for the museum center was formed with Alfred Sanford III as its chair.

Discussion sessions led by consultants Harold and Susan Skramstad were held with board members, staff, local historians, and commtmity members to ensure the integrity of the planning process. The architects and an exhibit-design fum were also invited to the forums. (I11e findings of the consultants were presented to the board of trustees in January 200 1.)

Renovation and fittings for the new Research library were finished as the year ended. The library director and staff began packing at the Peter Foulger Museum and despite delays and some inclement weather, the library was fully installed by the end of December and opened to the public on January 2, 2001.

Campaign gifts topped $13.1 million from 110 individuals, foundations, and corporations.

I have always had a perso11al i11terest i11 history. That interest led me to museum educatio11 in New Hampshire. Having recently moved to the isla11d, I was pleased to be able to pursue that i11terest at the Gos11old Center.

The NHA has a rich artifact collection.

My role i11 helpi11g to catalogue part of the furniture collectio11 has been challengi11g.

Each object has its own story. HopefuUy that story wiU be told as the piece is displayed and involved i1l C01lti1lUi1lg NHA exhibits. I have enjoyed assisti11g the NHA in its role as educator a11d preserver of Na11tucket's unique history.

Historic Nantucket Book Section Rough Medicine: Surgeons at Sea in the Age of Sail Joan Druett 270 pages New York: Routledge, 2000 Review by Leslie W. Ottinger

B

EGINNING IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY

it was customary for the complement of British sailing ships of both the naval and merchant fleets to include a doctor.

Drawing principally on the journals kept by nine men serving on whaling cruises between 1830 and 1843, Joan Druett examines the role of such surgeons.

The crew of a Yankee whaler did not often include a doctor, the master or first mate assuming responsibility for the crew's medical care. By chance, however, there exists a detailed journal written by an American surgeon, John B. King, on board the ship Aurora of Nantucket, on a three-year cruise that began in 1837, as well as a short diary kept by a physician named Tom Noddy on the New Bedford whaler Java in 1855. Those two accounts are also utilized in the book. King's journal and that of Eldred E. Fysh of the British whaler Coronet are in the manuscript collection of the NHA. Medicine in the first half of the nineteenth century was almost as rough, and in some ways just as dangerous, as whaling. In an early chapter the author describes the work of John Woodall, surgeon of the East India Company, who in 1617 published a handbook, The Surgeon's Mate. It became a useful companion of ships' surgeons for more than a century. In it he listed the contents of the large, iron-bound medicine chests that he supplied to the ships of his employer. On the list were more than 270 preparations, many of which were still in use two hundred years later. Apart from opium and fracture bandages, none of them probably offered the patient much beyond psychological benefits. There was also a short list of surgical instruments, which were, by contrast, of considerable importance as doctors in whaling times were often relatively effective in the management of trauma. Otherwise, their treatments were HISTORIC

more likely to add to rather than reduce the misery and risk of the patient. In addition, as background for what is to follow, the author describes many common medical complaints of the day and their usual management.

Subsequent chapters concern the day-to-day life on a whaler: whale hunting, shipboard crimes and punishment, and encounters with native people, all as seen and described by the surgeons. A chapter covers the injuries and other complaints encountered and how they were managed. These ranged from fractures, crushed limbs, and head trauma to fevers, rheumatic complaints, and numerous other mysterious and obscure afflictions.

There is a separate chapter on the management of scurvy and a final one on the subsequent fate of the surgeon authors. Through their thoughts and actions, a fairly clear picture of some of these sturdy, bold, decisive, and observant fellows emerges.

An appendix lists the contents of John Woodall's medicine chest as well as the much smaller one carried on the Aurora. A second appendix contains John B. King's patient list for six months during 1840. It records the date of more than a hundred visits, along with the diagnosis and treatment for each patient.

Finally, there is a useful glossaty and reference list.

Through her meticulous background research, the use of carefully selected black and white illustrations, and especially the inclusion of numerous direct quotations from the journals, the author has produced a book that is both informative and absorbing. She presents a fascinating description of whaling, whalers, and surgeons in the intense and isolated setting of a long and dangerous cruise on a small sailing ship during the times before the great medical advances of the last half of the century.

Leslie W. Ottinger, a physician, retired to Nantucket in 1996. He has been a volunteer in the NHA Research Lzbrary since February 1999 and is a past contrzbutor to Historic Nantucket.

Captain Ahab Had a Wife: New England Women and the Whalefishery, 1720--1870

By Lisa Norling Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2000 Review by Margaret Moore Booker

V

ERY FEW WOMEN

APPEAR IN HERMAN

Melville's Moby-Dick, considered by most to be the greatest whaling novel ever written.

Even when Melville mentions Captain Ahab's wife all we learn about her is that she is "a sweet, resigned girl."

Despite this noticeable lack of women in Moby-Dick, and until recently in most volumes on maritime history, women did indeed play a significant role in the American whaling industry.

In Captain Ahab Had a Wife: New England Women and the Whalefishery, 1720-1870, scholar and history professor Lisa Norling has filled a void in the social history of seafaring by providing insight into the experiences, perspectives, and contributions of real maritime women.

Expanding upon her essay "Ahab's Wife," published in Iron Men, Wooden Women: Gender and Seafaring in the Atlantic World, 1700-1920 (1996), Norling examines the gender dynamics in the whaling industry in New England. She begins her examination with a comprehensive history of the whalefishery on Nantucket in the eighteenth century, followed by an illuminating description of the industry's growth in New Bedford in the nineteenth century. Within this framework she explores the shift from a patriarchal world to the more indistinct Victorian culture of domesticity, and the effect this had on maritime women's work and lives.

Norling's exhaustive research and detailed analysis reveal, in her own words, that "Women's direct contriI butions to the whalefishery were multiple and varied, though not everything they did was equally acknowledged. But by far their most important contribution was indirect: their taking responsibility for family and community onshore during the men's absences."

As whaling voyages expanded to three years and more, sea-wives on Nantucket and the mainland acted as their husband's junior partners or surrogates while the seafarers were away. They handled many details of their husband's business, and also served as intermediaries between the fraternity at sea and the community

on shore. The mariners relied on their female connections to keep in touch with events and people both at home and at sea.

While the home remained the geographic center of a woman's emotional life, to help sustain their families mariners' wives often became entrepreneurs, earning money by accepting piecework, by taking in boarders, teaching, farming, or selling goods in small retail shops.

(Most readers of this review are intimately familiar with Nantucket's Centre Street, which was once called "Petticoat Row" for its female shopkeepers.)

Throughout Captain Ahab Had a Wife Norling shares the often poignant and sometimes heart-rending stories of these maritime women as they experienced courtship, love, marriage, and domestic duties. By quoting from the journals and letters they wrote, a strong impression of their personalities and the texture of their lives emerges.

For example, she quotes extensively from a four-page letter written in 1850 by twenty-one-year-old Ruth Grinnell of Westport, Massachusetts, to her fiance James Sowle, who had shipped out two years earlier and was then somewhere deep in the South Pacific. Not surprisingly the letter is full of romantic sentiment and longing, as the devoted Ruth waits for her fiance to return.

In writing Captain Ahab Had a Wife Norling drew upon an astonishing wealth of sources that she discovered in the archives of southeastern New England. In particular, she consulted many hundreds of letters sent between women on shore and men at sea that have largely been ignored by maritime historians. (It was through letters that "Cape Horn widows" and their seafaring husbands sustained their relationships over distance and time.) Norling also consulted a remarkable set of documents saved by accident: a collection of 155 "dead letters," dating from 1841 to 1861, addressed to but never received by men at sea, that were preserved among the papers of a mid-nineteenth-century postmaster in the New Bedford area.

Captain Ahab Had a Wife is a serious scholarly book, but is engagingly written. It will no doubt serve as an important text on the subject of gender and the American whalefishery for decades to come.

Bonita Orellana came to the NHA in January and is our new administrative assistant and visitor services coordinator. Bonita spent much of her childhood in Nantucket and is a graduate of Nantucket High School.

She worked at Nantucket Visitor Services, Nantucket Accommodations, and Country Village Real Estate prior to joining the NHA. While she was at Visitor Services, Bonita was the recipient of the Governor's Hospitality Award for 1998. At the Nantucket Historical Association, in addition to serving as the office's administrative assistant, Bonita will train and oversee the frontline visitor staff. She will track admissions and ensure that visitors are fully apprised of the numerous opportunities at the museums and historic sites.

Judy Widger joined the NHA administrative team in October. Her title is finance assistant and she works directly with finance manager Johanna Lanza. Judy comes to the organization with excellent administrative and bookkeeping experience. Most recently she was the office manager and bookkeeper for Dr. Ted LaRochelle at the Nantucket Cottage Hospital. During ten years living off Nantucket, Judy was the accounts payable manager for a Best Western hotel and an assistant manager at a Burger King restaurant. Judy lives on the island with her two sons, Josh, 11, and Sean, 12.

The curatorial department is pleased to announce the acquisition of a Coffin family wedding skirt, or petticoat, donated by Henry and Miles Carlisle, descendants of the original owner of the skirt.

The quilted blue silk skirt, which is in remarkable condition , was made in 1692 by Damaris Gayer (1673-1764) and worn for her marriage to Nathaniel Coffin (1671-1721) , a merchant captain and grandson of Tristram Coffin. Damaris was the daughter of William Gayer and his first wife, Dorcas Starbuck (daughter of Edward and Catherine Starbuck).

Damaris and Nathaniel Coffin had nine children.

The skirt was both fashionable and costly when it was made, which is why it became a prized family heirloom. It is fully lined and ties at the waist. Although quilted petticoats were undergarments, they were intended to be seen. Skirts worn over petticoats opened in front from the waistline to the hem, showing off the exquisitely quilted design.

The skirt was later worn by four other brides: Jedida Hussey (1708-1759) , Abigail Coleman (1735-1807), Abial Gardner (1764-1856), and Elizabeth Ramsdell (1773-1852). A label stitched inside the skirt is signed

by Elisa Starbuck Coffin (1811-1903) and reads in part, "Elisabeth Ramsdell married I Levi Starbuck 1793 and was the I fifth person married in this skirt I her mother & all her ancestors having worn it before." The skirt remained in the Coffin family until it was given to the NHA by Henry Coffin Carlisle and Miles Carlisle, the I History Ticket Starting this spring visitors to the NHA's museums and great-grandchildren of Elisa and Henry Coffin. historic sites will purchase a single-ticket admission "We are thrilled to be able to add this beautiful and called a History Ticket.

Wtllys Jeepster The NHA is extremely grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Louis B. Susman for their donation of a 1949 Willys Jeepster Phaeton. The beautiful yellow convertible, in excellent condition, was made by the Willys-Overland Company in Toledo, Ohio. The car will be driven by executive director Frank Milligan in this year's Daffodil Parade and auctioned off during the August Antiques Show to benefit the NHA's artifact acquisiI tion fund.

Important Acquisition by the Friends of the Nantucket Historical Association

In March, the Friends of the Nantucket Historical Association purchased an important painting by Eastman Johnson. The painting, an oil on canvas depicting the interior of the old Round Top windmill on Nantucket, is entitled A Falling Market and was painted by Johnson in 1873. The work offers remarkable documentary evidence about the mill and the faltering island economy in the early 1870s as it records the forlorn gaze of the miller, as well as the structural elements of the mill, in the year the mill was tom down.

Johnson, recognized as one of the preeminent American painters during the second half of the nineteenth century, had only just begun summering on Nantucket where he maintained a studio on the Cliff.

In Memoriam Nantucket and the NHA lost beloved friend

William Sevrens on February 20, 2001. Born in Boston in 1916, Bill came with his mother, Marion Cook Sevrens, for his first trip to Nantucket at the age of six weeks and moved here permanently in 1930. He graduated from Nantucket High School in 1933 and from Munson Academy in 1934. Working first as a plumber, Bill later became a licensed insurance salesman and real estate broker. However, he was first and foremost an expert craftsman. As a young man, he learned to make lightship baskets from Mitchie Ray and began to make baskets as a full-time occupation in the 1960s. He taught classes and shared his enthusiasm for the craft with everyone he met. The NHA is especially grateful for his annual donation to the Antiques Show Raffle, starting in 1992. Looking back over the years of donations, his gifts were creative, unique, and wonderful- not unlike Bill himself.

Long-time Whaling Museum interpreter and lecturer Alfred Orpin (1906-2001) died this past January.

Nantucket-born and raised, Alfred graduated from Nantucket schools in 1925 and spent thirty-three years at the Wannacomet Water Company. After retiring, he joined the interpretive staff at the Whaling Museum in 1978. He continued to be a popular lecturer and guide for the next two decades, giving lectures on the history of whaling until1998. He will be remembered for his HISTORIC

sense of fun, engaging smile, and his ability to captivate an audience with a whisper.

Gay Lancaster (1917-2000), Kentucky-born architectural historian and prolific author, died on Christmas Day in Salvisa, Kentucky, where he had lived in his meticulously restored 1809 house since leaving Nantucket in the rnid-1970s. Mr. Lancaster is known best on the island for his seminal work The Architecture of Historic Nantucket, the first and most comprehensive study of Nantucket's unique treasury of domestic architecture. He also produced Nantucket in the Nineteenth Century, a pictorial survey; The Far-Out Island Razlroad; and Holiday Island, a chronicle of American vacationing on what he called "this never-never land far out to sea."

The NHA published the latter work, which has become a fruitful source of information for researchers of every stripe. Some thirty other of his books, including six for children, demonstrate his wide range of interests-comparative religions, landscaping, interiors, and the creative instincts of animals.

Nantucketers who knew him remember a gentle man of endless curiosity and quiet determination.

Jean MacAusland (1918---2000), a long-time summer resident, died in September. Mrs. MacAusland first carne to Nantucket in 1951 with her husband, Earle MacAusland, publisher of Gourmet magazine. A lover of flowers, she became a member of the Nantucket Garden Club and in 1974 realized a dream of transforming springtime on Nantucket-a dream that resulted in millions of daffodils blooming by the roadsides and the evolution of the annual Daffodil Festival. Mrs. MacAusland was a good friend of the NHA, especially during the centennial year, when her contributions of both time and funds added sparkle to the year's activities. Her many friends on Nantucket will miss her cheerful presence.

Long-time summer resident and NHA member Charles A. Kilvert (1918-2001) died last July 4.

Born in Providence, Mr. Kilvert graduated from Yale University in 1942. He had his own business, Rhode Island Engineering and Manufacturing Corp., and spent his summers in Nantucket. He was particularly well known for his beautiful gardens at the family home at 105 Main Street and his love of sailing. He will be missed by all of his island friends and family.

THE PINEAPPLE HAS LONG BEEN CONSIDERED THE ULTIMATE

exotic fruit due to its rarity, expense, and striking visual appearance (not to mention its delectable taste). These traits made the pineapple a status symbol for numerous colonial and American hostesses throughout the 18th and 19th centuries. If a pineapple could be procured for a social evening, it was granted a position of honor at the center of the table, connecting the fruit with feelings of good cheer, welcome, and affection.

For Nantucket whalemen, exotic fruit like pineapples and oranges served a more practical function: eating citrus fruit was known to prevent scurvy. Fresh fruit was abundant throughout the Pacific whaling grounds and was often offered in trade to whaleships by the native people who wanted cloth and metal. Several logbooks in the NHA's collection mention taking on various kinds of tropical fruit during the voyage. Tasting these fruits was certainly a unique experience for the men.
